• FLASHBACK FRIDAY - 1978 HALEIWA SEA SPREE!!! Bicycle racing has a rich history in Hawaii. The Around - The - Island race ( Pre-Dating the Dick Evans) used to be a two day event that was part of the Haleiwa Sea Spree festival, big community carnival celebration located at Haleiwa Beach Park, celebrating the old WHALING DAYS!!! The first leg started from Haleiwa, on the North Shore and went clock-wise around Oahu's North and Windward sides, ending at Kapiolani Park by the Waikiki Shell. This shot, provided by eventual winner Mark Irwin, shows the fast-single-paceline led by Olympian Dave Sharp (Maui), pushing hard into the headwinds of Kahuku. Left to right: Dave Sharp, Bob Pineapple Bob Kurosawa (went on to work for Bridgestone) Ken Sugai, Jim Stuart (Long-time Champion), Mark Irwin and Mike Moffitt. #haleiwaseaspree #luckywelivehawaii #northshoreoahu #aroundtheislandrace #haleiwa #kahuku #cyclingshots #historiccycling #bicycleracing #flashbackfriday #bicycleracinghistory

  • Pali Loop w/Tantalus - Part 3 - OLOMANA to MAKAPUU - After climbing Tantalus and the Pali we headed back to Kapiolani via the Olomana and Waimanalo Backroads and then to Makapuu. It was fun to hang with the hammers for a little bit on Olomana, then reality set it, hah!!! A little squall blew in as we approached Makapuu making an otherwise dry ride a little wet, for just a bit!!! #tradewindsaturdayride #paliloopride #olomanabackroads #tradewindstrong #flytradewindblue #TradewindCyclingTeam #thebikeshophawaii #ilgelatohawaii #wearespecialized_road #cyclingshots #luckywelivehawaii #wintercycling #winterinhawaii #supporttheteamride #ohcc #ohcc2020 #gopro #goprobawaii #goproviews #oahuhillclimbchallenge #lightsallthetime #visibleandpredictable @hawaiihans @sharonkeith2 @patjameshawaii @mikoalea @animo.110 @trijapan @taralucy123 @winicoslife @budah_69

  • Sunday Spin - Post-Ride COFFEE TIME!!! When we are done riding it is time to relax and catch up with friends old and new because everyone's equal over the coffee table!!! Over the years MANY FRIENDSHIPS have been made at the post-ride coffee hour!!! When it was first suggested that we go to coffee after the ride I thought it was a bad idea, I said we're hot and sweaty why would we want to drink coffee? It was explained to me that it wasn't about drinking a hot beverage but rather about FELLOWSHIP!!! They were right and going to coffee post ride became one of our INSTITUTIONS some days with two of us and some days like today with a crowd. As a side note, most of our coffee spots have a Jamba Juice next door!!! #tradewindstrong #teammates #visitorswelcome #flytradewindblue #tradewindcyclingteam #goodtimeswithgoodfriends #thebikeshophawaii #ilgelatohawaii #shaka #luckywelivehawaii #wearespecialized_road #cyclingshots #wintercycling #winterinhawaii #postridecoffee #tradewindsundayspin #kapiolanitowaimanaloride #sundayspin #makeeverydaycount @animo.110 @sharonkeith2 @taralucy123 @winico@tj_jacang

  • Sunday Spin - HIDING FROM THE RAIN!!! The hammers skipped the break but we stopped and missed the quick-moving squall as it blew in from the ocean and headed towards Kaneohe, NICE!!! We stayed dry, not so much the others, haha!!! Sometimes it pays being part of the back-of-the-group-pack!!! Big group today, with beautiful conditions, a little windy but not too bad, gotta love getting some road time with the buds, oh yeah!!! #makeeverydaycount #supporttheteamride #sundayspin #tradewindsundayspin #tradewindstrong #flytradewindblue #teammates #TradewindCyclingTeam #thebikeshophawaii #ilgelatohawaii #wearespecialized_road #cyclingshots #luckywelivehawaii #goodtimeswithgoodfriends #kapiolanitowaimanaloride @cooki_cyclist #wintercycling #winterinhawaii
